Historically Pleasing

Due to the area I wasn't sure what to expect but I was quite surprised when I walked in and was greeted by the kind gentleman at the front. We felt welcomed and taken care of. We only stayed 1 night before our trip home to CA. The beds were a little firm and pillows a little hard but still enjoyed myself.

The room had a high ceiling and was very clean. Food at the buffet was decent, the lady cooking the omelettes, pancakes and chilaquiles was extremely nice and kind. Some of the people working at the front door aren't as friendly as you'd expect, but I would stay here again.
